Comment (by wonder):

 The problem is that either the shapes are too short (the label wouldn't
 fit on the line) or the shapes are too complex and creation of labels
 candidates fails because the succesive characters would be otherwise
 rotated "too much", resulting in unreadable labels.

 I don't know what should be a correct solution for this. The engine could
 try to detect such complex shapes and try to simplify on-the-fly them
 before creating candidates...
